1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup chopped dried plums
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup brandy or rum (optional)
For the Sauce:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup brandy or rum (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pudding:
In a medium bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the milk, molasses, and dried plums. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
2. Steam the Pudding:
Grease a 1-quart pudding mold or a heatproof bowl. Pour the pudding mixture into the mold and cover with a double layer of parchment paper and foil, securing them with a string. Place the mold in a large pot with a lid and fill the pot halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the pudding steam for 2-3 hours, checking the water level periodically and adding more if necessary.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the heavy cream and brown sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the brandy or rum. Keep the sauce warm until ready to serve.
4. Serve:
Remove the pudding mold from the pot and let it cool for 10 minutes. Unmold the pudding onto a serving plate and drizzle the warm sauce over the top. For an extra touch of indulgence, you can also flambé the pudding by pouring a little extra brandy or rum over the top and lighting it with a match. Serve and enjoy!
